chipset is what controls the cpu, ram and soutbridge. the chipset is also called the north bridge. chipset is built into the motehrboard. VIA is a company that makes chipsets, but they only make chipset for AMD processors. They say that that ram is only for amd processors becuase it is for VIA chipsets only. Not sure why they would say this as the ram is the exact same for intel and amd processors. <_<
